Here is another Israeli innovation which Israel boycotters should take note of in case they inadvertently take advantage of its life saving possibilities.
While common in surgery and wound care, traditional sealing methods like sutures and staples often cause unnecessary pain, trauma, and higher healthcare costs. As alternatives, existing bioadhesives suffer from imprecise fabrication, limited wet tissue adhesion, and insufficient biological functions for effective wound management.
But all of those methods could soon be a thing of the past, thanks to a research team from the Wolfson Department of Chemical Engineering at the Technion-Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa.
The scientists developed an innovative alternative – biomimetic hydrogel bioadhesives that can seal wounds quickly and effectively even under extreme conditions and environments.
ANOTHER MEDICAL WORLD FIRST
Israel is about to start the world’s first trials of engineered spinal cords to enable paralyzed individuals to walk again.
These trials if successful will open revolutionary possibilities for millions of people worldwide.
Truly more proof of the Biblical prophecy of making Israel a “light unto the nations.”

A NEW EXHIBITION AT YAD VASHEM
Holocaust era artifacts never before shown to the public are now being exhibited at Yad Vashem.
Each item encapsulates a human story which adds to the history of that evil period.
This exhibition is vitally important at a time when Shoah deniers are increasing and Jew hate is rampant.

RETURNING AIRLINES
After abandoning Israel during the last two years many foreign airlines are returning.
This is welcome news because it should increase competition and reduce “sky high” fares.
While Israelis will take advantage of this development the return of tourists and visitors will be a much longer process.

CANINE CHAMPIONS
Take a look at Israel’s unique dog search and rescue organization.
In peace and war these highly trained canines and their handlers help to rescue lost civilians as well as victims of terror.
